Prince Edward Island
Located in eastern Canada, Charlottetown is the smallest province in Canada. Its area is 5,657 km2 and its population is 136,100 (1991). Its capital is Charlottetown. It is isolated from the Atlantic Ocean by Nova Scotia, and has a warm climate and fertile soil, so agriculture remains the province's largest industry. Potatoes are exported both domestically and internationally, followed by dairy products. The second largest industry is manufacturing, primarily food manufacturing, and third is construction. The province is familiar to Japanese people as the setting for LM Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables series, and tourism to Anne's historic sites is becoming an important industry in the province.

カナダ東部にあるカナダ最小の州。面積5657km2,人口13万6100(1991)。州都シャーロットタウン。ノバ・スコシア州により大西洋から隔離され,気候は温暖,地味が肥沃で,依然として農業が州第1の産業となっている。農産物としてはジャガイモが国の内外に輸出されており,酪農産品がこれに次いでいる。産業の第2は食品製造を中心とする製造工業,第3に建設業があげられる。日本人にはL.M.モンゴメリーの《赤毛のアン》シリーズの舞台としてなじみの州であり,アンの旧跡を訪ねる観光業も州の重要産業となりつつある。
